nursery


My handy hubby got the changing table/dresser and the 2 cribs put together this weekend! It is starting to look like a nursery in there. I have 4 Beatrix Potter framed posters to hang, curtains to put up and a bit more tidying to do and then I will take a few pictures. There are still things to do, but stuff that can wait if need be. I want to get a comfy chair/ottoman, a rug, a lamp, some shelves to hang over the changing table and some more decorations. It will all come together eventually I am sure.


We have been doing lots of research on cloth diapers lately. I had always planned on going that route with one baby, but was undecided with two. We have pretty much decided that that is the way we will be going. Environmentally it makes so much more sense. I hate throwing away huge amounts of garbage and disposable diapers are such a waste. The water used to wash CDs is less than the water used to produce disposable diapers as well. Financially is where you see a HUGE difference. Disposable diapers are soooo expensive. With cloth you have a large purchase price at the beginning, but then you have them. I know CDs aren't for everyone, they are more work and are not as convenient. If I wasn't able to stay at home with the babies and had to go back to work right away I wouldn't be considering it. I am lucky and plan to be home with the twins for 2 years. We still haven't bought any diapers, but are strongly considering Bum genius 3.0 s. (picture above).

nursery color before and after

This is the new color going up (thanks Keith for helping!) it is a big change from the before color (see below)




This is the before color, Terra Cotta. It was lovely color for an office/spare room. Not a great color for babies.
